Can I be a volunteer on deviantART?

There are two departments that have volunteers within them, Community Relations and Community Operations.

In Community Relations, volunteers make up the Gallery Moderator team. Gallery Moderators moderate and aid in the planning and development of the gallery they volunteer for by forming a relationship with the artistic community and acting as a communication bridge between the community and the administration. They also have the ability to contribute in several ways which you can read about in their guidelines outlined in FAQ #82: What are the guidelines for Volunteer Gallery Moderators?

In Community Operations, volunteers make up the MN@ (Message Network) team. Message Network Administration are a team of volunteers who assist in making sure that the chat network and forums are a safe and fun environment. This involves monitoring and moderating in chatrooms, locking up inappropriate forum threads and providing a calendar of interactive and entertaining events in our community. To read the guidelines that apply to MN@ please see FAQ #83: What are the guidelines for Volunteer MN@?

Both Community Relations and Community Operations adhere to the same Core Values and if you’re interested in volunteering with either department it’s important you are familiar with them. You can read about them in FAQ #84: What are the Core Values of the Community Relations and Operations Departments?

If you are interested in volunteering you must be at least 18 years of age.
